My previous glasses frame cost more than 20x this one. They lasted about 8 years, but looked pretty atrocious after 4. Well, how times change! Thank God and the Internet for discount outfits like Zenni! I'd describe this frame as being about 95% the quality of the previous. When I got it, I figured that if it lasted 5 months, I'd already be ahead compared to my last pair. It has now been 5 months and I can with no hesitation say that these are a great option. The frame seems as good as new, and the lenses are, well, about like every other pair I've had. My prescription is a ~5 and I opted for the economical PC (polycarbonate) lenses and the thickness on the edges isn't too outrageous.The photo and description are a bit misleading in two ways. First, the front, hinge, and about 1" of the temples are "stainless steel". The rest of the temples are a tough plastic. The colors match but there is an obvious joint. It's not unsightly, but initially, the two parts would move in and out about 3mm with a bit of pressure, sliding on the thinner connecting bit of metal and making the frame feel "loose". The joint on both sides has since stiffened up and there is no more looseness. The frame has withstood a fair amount of mistreatment, so I have no qualms about the sturdiness of the design.Second, the photo makes the temples look quite bulky in proportion to the front. This was not nearly as obvious when I received the pair.If you're looking for a no-nonsense, sedate, durable and tough frame with spring hinges and adjustable nosepads, this will do the job....Read the Full Review

I love these glasses! Not only are they cute and have a subtle side to it, they are very comfortable. They are a bit larger than I expected, but I still wear them around. I recommend these glasses because they are so cheap but great quality.

Thank you for your feedback.Please note that only your first vote will be counted.
